obama are in their normal cabin. in the medical office behind their cabin, that is where the bushes are. behind that, the senior staff cabin, that's where hillary clinton is. of course, when they were all not gabbing in the conference room, as we always learned that they did. >> i'm sure they did. >> potential an awkward moment, as you know, cuba's president will be sharing the same stage with president obama, both speaking at the memorial service. how is that expected to unfold? >> reporter: that's right. this is something that could be unexpected, wolf, because previous officials to other trips like this have said, you know, sometimes you can't necessarily keep these foreign leaders apart. it's sort of a feat of maneuvering, but there is a portion of the service where you have six foreign leaders paying tribute. president obama will be the first of the six, raul castro is the last to pay his respects, but they are sharing a stage. i think it is interesting that you have, obviously the u.s. and cuba, which were enem

he wasn't going to give on obama care. he was in a little bit, you could argue, sort of intransjents. he said no, i'm not negotiating on this. and once this was all said and done in october, he said that he didn't think there was going to be another fight. so if that is the case, i think they're going to see that as justifying his strategy and that ultimate think did work. i will tell you, though, president obama has dedicated a lot of time to talking about unemployment insurance, and it appears that that is not going to be part of this. you have uninsurance benefits expires for 1.3 million people at the end of the year. a lot of this is going to be in this bargain. it appears at this point, that that's still going to be an issue unresolved from this agreement. >> i know you've been checking. this is a deal to keep the government going. there won't be a government shutdown. it's going to be, there's going to be controversy as you pointed out, but it has nothing to do with raising the nation's debt ceiling which has to be r

whether or not barack obama, the u.s. president, goes because of course, his security detail is the biggest of them all. but it doesn't matter, even on the day five memorial service in johannesburg and soweto which we expect president obama to go to, and other heads of state, that also potentially could be a logistical problem because under south african tradition, nobody can be invited to a funeral. everybody is welcome. so you are going to be seeing no tickets issued for the standing or seats in the stadium. anybody can arrive to come and pay their tribute to mandela at both the memorial and the funeral. so there is going to be i think the biggest challenge is going to be the sheer number of people who are going to be flocking to try and either be close to his casket, to his body, or who just want to be part of the proceedings. of course, they are not going to be just jostling for space with fellow south africans but also with the rest of the world. >> they certainly will be. thanks to both of you for your report. >>> c
